Syria Air Force destroys two warplanes used by ISIS to train fighter pilots for terrorist ‘air force’

Syria’s Information Minister Omran Zoabi said that the air force had destroyed two of the planes and is continuing to search for the third jet.

“Regarding… that terrorists control three jets in al-Jarrah military air base in Aleppo, there are three old aircraft that the terrorists were testing so the Syrian Arab Army immediately destroyed two of them on the runway as they were landing,” Zoubi said.

He noted that the Syrian government is not worried about the third plane as it “cannot be used” by the militants.

The information minister added that the plane might be a pretext for the Turkish government to work for the imposition of a no-fly zone over Syria.
